CONCERNING BOOKS.
BY Z. cAvAzZA.

One Of the best signs of the times for liter
ature, and indeed fer general progress, Is
the constant increase of interest in Dante
and his works. Appreciation Of the great
epic poet of the war between good and evil
has, in his own country, been the accurate
and sensitive barometer Of the political and
moral atmosphere of Italy. Relapse into
conditions of enslavement and corruption
has always been accompanied by. apathy and
neglect toward the works of Dante; and In
the present awakened and liberated state of
Italy, her poet is loved and honored with I'M
precedented fervor, and every testimony
which may afford fresh knowledge Of his
life and thought is eagerly seized upon and
made to render its service to the study Of his
writings. In America also, the number of
intelligent students of the works of Dante is
increasing, and the matchless translation Of
the Divina Commedia by Prof. Longfellow,
the great and sympathetic essay included by
Prof. Lowell in his volume Among my
Books, and Prof. Norton's sensitive studies
OF the Vita Nuova have done ''honor to the
pre-eminent poet" and to America.
Perhaps it is not wholly fanciful to believe
that America and Italy, akin in their politi-
cal ideals, have also a subtle sympathy that
dates back to the days of Christopher Col
umbus. 1t was Italian thought, italian faith
that had foresight of the great new CONT
nent lying far to the westward; and If the
people and language of this country came
from England, its spirit is descended from
the great Roman Empire, honored and sung
by Virgil and by Dante.
An exceedingly well arranged manual for
the use Of students of the life and writings
of the Florentine poet is the Life Of Dante,
by M. A. Ward. Boston; Roberts Brothers.
Without advancing new theories or attempt
ing to discuss certain questions of biography
and comment that form part of the present
polemics of Dantean scholarship, the author
has succeeded admirably in the compilation
of clear and readable biography. In order
to appreciate the double allegory Of the Di-
VIVA Commedia, it is necessary to have some
knowledge of the politics and history Of
The Portland daily press., 1887-05-28

The ''driven well'' has hitherto been use-
full but not very famous contriyance. 1t is
simply pointed tube driven into the ground
until water is reached, and fitted with
pump. This has been improved upon some
what, and present practice is to drive rod,
insert tube and then raise the water by
suction. Such wells are far more practical
BILE ON the alluval prairies of the West than
in rocky New England, where tube gener-
ally cannot be driven into the ground far
without striking stone or ledge. In Indiana
there are fifty thousand of these wells, and
the number in the United States is cstimat-
ed to be more than half million. The in
terest over the continuance at present is
caused by the fact that in 1868 Nelson Green
got patent on the device. 1t is said that
at that time the wells had been used for some
time, and the circuit courts in Iowa and In
diana held that this use of the wells by the
public rendered the patent void. When the
first appeal reached the Supreme Court some
| years ago the court divided equally, leaving
the case open. Since then the case has been
before the circuit courts Of Iowa, Indiana,
| New Jersey, Ohio and Connecticut In In
| diana Judge Gresham rendered the decision
against the patent. Ex-senator Mcdonald,
the Democratic politician, was counsel for
the patent and thereby injured his popular
ity greatly in the State where there are fifty
thousand of the driven wells. The Supreme
| Court of the United States, having heard the
case on another appeal, has reversed the de-
| cisions of the lower courts and sustains the
| patent. The Importance Of this decision is
| appreciated when it is understood that the
| owners Of the patent have demanded ten dol
lars royalty on every well in use This will
take half million dollars out of the Indiana
farmers and five millions OF more from the
| owners of driven wells in the whole country.
The storm that this decision viii create
would make formidable rebellion In less
evenly balanced society; as it is, it is lucky
for the Supreme judges that they do not hold
their offices by election by the people. The
owners of driven wells might form formi-
dable third party.

Two Mississippi militia companies retired
from their places in the column at the re-
view in Washington because the proximity
OF colored troops grated on their feelings as
Southern gentlemen. A Northern militia
company would keep its place even il it did

is the difference between Northern gentle
